All remaining 60GB Playstation 3’s are in stores now
In July, we told you that once Sony sold out of their stock of 60GB PS3’s, that they would not be shipping any more to stores. We speculated that this would happen in “a few months”.
A few months later, and here we are; and Sony is confirming that they are fresh out of 60 GB [...]
GPhone on its way?
GMail, GMaps, and Search are still the only three Google apps that I really use every day. Everything else they’ve made is pretty cool, but not really that useful for me. Anything tech needs to be both cool and useful if you want to use it, no? Except for toys, but you [...]
The Perfect Gaming Mouse?
You often hear the term “Built for Gamers By Gamers”, but typically it refers to the employees of a company. Although it would seem logical that any company would want to build its products to the exact specifications requested by their target markets, it is not always the way.
Issues of cost aside, things can go [...]
Bioshock First Impressions
If you’re like me, you went out early on the 21st and grabbed the first copy of Bioshock available on the shelf. After months of analyzing demo videos and drooling over plasmid effects, it’s finally here and I’m delighted to say, Bioshock is undoubtedly awesome. Since this is a thinking man’s FPS, [...]
Making sense of the HD DVD hoopla
So earlier this year, it seemed like Blu ray was killing HD DVD in the next-generation format wars. Blu ray was far outpacing HD DVD in sales, and with the PlayStation 3, there were far more Blu ray players in the homes of consumers than there were HD DVD players. As well, Blockbuster [...]
Intel G965 graphics finally grows a pair
Here’s something that hits home for me. I am currently on a 1 month visit back home (I moved to Hong Kong a little over a year ago), and I have been on my laptop the entire time (a beautiful Fujitsu purchased in Japan). The thing is, see, that Intel’s integrated graphics adapter.. sucks [...]
New XBOX 360 Premiums (with HDMI) still use 90nm processors
I’m not sure how the rumor started (my guess is that someone on some forum just made the assumption), that the new XBOX 360 Premiums with HDMI output would be using the much-anticipated 65nm “Falcon” processor, but here is some proof that it doesn’t:
Courtesy of “wonderkins” from the NeoGAF forum comes this photo of his [...]
Valve’s ‘The Orange Box’ – What I’m looking forward to most
The Orange Box is finally set to release early October this year. Sure, it mostly just has Half-Life 2 games and expansions, which are great if you are a hardcore HL fan — but even then you probably already downloaded and bought them on Steam. The game that’s interesting in this box [...]
Why would you buy a new iMac? Corrections.
I don’t want to shy away from my mistakes in my previous article. I relied on a poor source which informed me of notebook drives in the new iMac, which I hope you will accept my apologies. I am very happy this is not the case, as I have become well aware [...]

Be sure to come back on that day for a full review! (if the rumored date is true; we cannot confirm that here).
